In the current employment landscape, the debate on strengthening control of the unemployed is omnipresent. While some argue that this could speed up the return to work, many studies and observations suggest the opposite. It is crucial to understand why such controls, far from being a miracle solution, can have a counterproductive effect, particularly for under-qualified individuals and those long removed from the labor market. Furthermore, professional integration also relies on alternative solutions, such as professional training and systems such as the PMSMP.
The illusion of control as an accelerator of reintegration
Strengthen control of the unemployed is often seen as a measure capable of stimulating their commitment and facilitating their rapid reintegration into the labor market. However, such a system obscures a reality: many job seekers are mostly underqualified and increased control can lead to undesirable consequences. Rather than encouraging these individuals, this pressure can reduce their motivation and ultimately jeopardize their return to employment.

Long-term unemployed: A complex reality
The situation becomes more complex for long-term unemployed. The latter are approximately half as likely to find a job compared to other unemployed people. However, each year, a fifth of this group remains far from the job market. The idea that strict and reinforced control could be a relevant solution turns out to be misleading. The real challenge lies rather in putting in place appropriate support, which considers the specific challenges of this population.
Vocational training: An underestimated necessity
An excellent way to support job seekers undoubtedly remains the vocational training. Many beneficiaries express their satisfaction and recognize the usefulness of the training followed for their professional integration. Strengthening controls while ignoring this essential aspect amounts to neglecting one of the most effective solutions for lasting reintegration into the job market.
The untapped potential of PMSMP
In addition to training, Professional Situation Period (PMSMP) remains a largely unknown, but crucial, tool. Since 2014, it has offered job seekers an opportunity for practical experimentation and to better understand the world of work. Rather than multiplying checks, promoting and further exploiting this system could play a transformative role for many unemployed people.

The challenge of professions in tension
The pressure exercised on the unemployed often concerns those who depend on professions in tension. They should consider options such as career retraining to align with current market needs. Current systems often fail to address these nuances, thus providing a framework that is not conducive to harmonious and productive reintegration.

Impact of unemployment on society: A question of social and economic ties
Unemployment does not limit its impact to the individual level. It also alters the social connection and exacerbates economic divisions. Workers, for example, experience a unemployment rate by 14%, compared to just 4.4% for other groups, illustrating the imperative for policies that promote inclusion rather than exclusion.

A balanced approach: Towards successful reintegration
Finally, while one might suggest following the Scandinavian model, which advocates monitoring upon loss of employment, it is essential to understand that too restrictive control can move away from the main objective: professional reintegration. To do this, we must invest in support, training, and initiatives such as the PMSMP, which are better able to restore the unemployed to an active position in the labor market.
